Quick and easy dumpling noodle soup

Noddles get a bad rap and it's mostly due to them being one of the staples of student's diets. But there's still so much that can be done with noodles.

When cooked well, it’s hard to resist a warm bowl of noodles. Sometimes it’s the most convenient thing to eat, it’s cheap and easy to prepare. And while they can get a little boring, let’s be honest, simply adding hot water to your noodles and spice just doesn’t do them any justice.
